Exchange 2010 - Cannot locate an address

[RabbieBurns]

we have an email address in our exchange that is receiving emails. I dont think it is a mailbox as it is delivering to multiplle recipients. It might be distribution group but I cannot see it in EMC.

Running the following in EMS I cannot find it either:

 

get-mailbox | select -expand emailaddresses alias

or

Get-DistributionGroup | select -expand emailaddresses alias

 

What else can I do to locate this email address?

If you know a particular user that is receiveing emails to that address you could check what groups they are a member of in AD. Distribution groups will show up and will give you somewhere to start looking.

the only group that is similar to them is a security group not a distribution group, has no email address listed in the properties, and doesnt exist in the distribution group part of EMC.

 

Its wierd. Ill check adsi edit for that group just now.

Ok so i think this is the group. It has a legacyExchageDN attribute set, and a proxyAddress.

 

Why cant i see it in Exchange?

could be that the group in not mail enabled in emc have a look here see if this makes it show up Mail-Enable or Mail-Disable a Distribution Group: Exchange 2010 Help

thanks. That worked. It populated EMC with the group.

 

I wonder how many other 'ghost' distribution groups exist!
